Objective: Students will create a unique, functional ceramic lantern using one of the techniques we have learned in Clay 1 and 2: slab construction, drape-mold, or a combination with coils. Students will cut a design out of the slab revealing negative space that will be lit by a candle.
Requirements: Must be 6” tall Organic or geometric design Functional (must have a base)
Creative and unique
Good craftsmanship
Well planned negative space
Standards 2.5 For pattern and symmetry, explore the use of patterns and symmetrical
shapes in 2D and 3D works 2.4 For shape and form, explore the use of shapes and forms in 2D and 3D
works 2.6 For space and composition, explore composition by creating artwork with a
center of interest, repetition, and/or balance 4.4 Produce work that shows an understanding of the concept of craftsmanship
To begin:
Brainstorm a list of ideas/ inspiration while observing and discussing slides
In your sketch book divide the paper into six sections. Draw six different thumb-nail sketches. Print out references for your design if needed
Pick your favorite design and draw it three more times changing the color, form, or pattern, (etc).
Final drawing to scale, in color, in your sketchbook. Please also include your plan for your building method
